The Bait: Unnecessary Roughness

As the end of the opie season draws near, the Bering Sea is not making things easy on the Captains. In this episode of The Bait, the Captains compare notes on everything from the serious accidents on their decks to the fear and loathing of their exhausted crews. Captain Keith starts us off by describing a fearsome incident on the Wizard in which a deckhand gets squashed between the launcher and the sorting table. Fortunately, the man survived, but no sooner had Keith dealt with that than a second crew member fell and broke three ribs.
